Cool friend! 🐛🦋

I kinda have felt we are all constantly evolving throughout life, (though sometimes it seems nothing changes but that's not even 100% true, my ocd has changed a little over the years too)

For a long time I have felt like the phoenix, life evolving in cycles, rising from the ashes stronger and wiser each time. 🦚🌋🔥

But true there are phases of more intense growth and evolution too as you seem to be experiencing. 🦋

That's wonderful to hear about your ocd. Any progress with ocd is absolutely something to be proud of ❤🐌😀

I agree. I think you help others more this way. It's good to hear you are feeling a lot more at peace 💜🦋💛

I think with anger it's important to be able to express it in a healthy way that doesn't hurt others or yourself. During the first three years of the ocd I had a lot of anger not only at my situation but feeling invalidated and misunderstood and because I could not express my emotions and find resolve I turned that emotional sword inward. I was self-abusive because that energy has to go somewhere and it wasn't allowed out. (I grew up in an environment where emotions were not normally allowed, especially anger)
I finished university but at what cost? I have mixed feelings on that accomplishment.

For a long time because of that situation at home I would bottle things up until I exploded and it happened again and again until I did some healing but also importantly worked on healing my relationship with my family too.

I agree feeling peaceful is very valuable. I have experienced so much stress over the years in different ways, mostly with the ocd. .
I don't really know how to end this. .
Much peace and love to you too 🐛💜🦋
